    WOW! You are a true craftsman. Its nice to see there are people like you around to build bookcases and entertainment centers, instead of the IKEA products that most of us have to endure.

    I continue to absolutely love your videos, Mike. They are pretty much perfect. The perfect mix between funny, informative and interesting. Really great. I’m slowly working my way through your back catalogue. Loving it so far. Oh, and you have THE best tools. Honestly didn’t even know some of the tools you had existed :) Agree with other the Domino comments. Bought my recently after wondering for a couple of years. Now I have it, you are correct it IS worth the money. Genuinely is.

    Thats great to hear. Thank you for the kind words. Its funny, people are always looking to save a buck on tools, I get that. I'm in a different boat, I'm looking for value in a tool, the Domino provides tons of value when considering its cost. I have spent a lot more on tools that do a lot less. For the hobby woodworker all the way to the high end pro, the Domino is a tool of many uses. I'm happy to hear you like yours. Also, I'd just like to mention that, to their loss, Festool isn't paying me to say this either.

    Bookcases! My favorite subject! I love watching wood shop videos because like everything else, it has its own lingo that you have to learn. When you said "toe kicks" I kept waiting for you to break out into some ballet or other dance moves. LOL!!!! I have much to learn.

    Thank you. Finding time is not easy, Its just something I force myself to do. When it comes time to build stuff for the shop, I justify it by considering how much time it will save me over the next few jobs. i.e. having a better system of organization will help produce work faster. If you look around my shop carefully, I really have not built very many storage solutions and lots of things are messy and unorganized. I hope to change that slowly over the next year or so. I will video as much as I can.

    Terrific project Mike. Making great use out of a space most folks would miss. Fine organization. I hope you have good luck with the thinner MDF drawer bottoms. I ended up going back and replacing the stuff I used in my shop with plywood. It wasn’t too much work and anytime spent in the shop is premium time for me.

    So far I have not had a MDF drawer bottom become a problem. I have on occasion, put a rib under the bottom of a drawer for added strength. Also, if a drawer is going to get really heavy use, I use 1/2".

    Fantastic job as always Mike. I wish you'd take more care over dust though. It's not the dust you can see that's the problem, it's the tiny particles that stay in the air for days that you can only see through bright light occasionally. Your lungs can't eject them and they stay there and come back and get you later. I love that up-down bench, I considered doing something like that with an old hospital bed but never did anything about it. Love those specialist machines.

    Hi Mike, Thank you very much. My sister lived near Water Town NY for a while, they got huge snow up there. I don't build too many kitchens. Since I am a one man shop, I can't turn them out fast enough to meet client demands. If I bump into the right client (not in a hurry), I will build them a kitchen. I mostly do built-ins, mantels, wall paneling, free standing furniture, and other small items. My large shop and tool set is the result of constant bargain hunting over many years. I love tools and I love hunting for deals.

    Hey Mike. I too am in Colorado-Aurora to be exact. It's been near 80 all week, so I'm expecting a temperature drop with snow and cold shortly 😆. I see so many KZreadrs with equipment I'm envious of. Festool stuff is superb, but the cost is way beyond what garage DIYers like me can afford. I like the way you work: efficient and straightforward. I'll be checking out more of your videos to see what I can learn. Keep up the good work! One more thing: I really like the hidden door latches. Very interested.

    Thank you. I'm pretty close to Aurora. I hear ya, I'm sure it will snow in the next week or two, we are due for one more. I fully understand the high cost of tools. Its not easy, and there really isn't a good answer. My solution has been to slowly save and buy as I find deals. Not sure thats the best business advice but its worked for me. I really like the tip on hardware as well. I think its the best on the market. Give my other videos a watch, let me know what you think.

    Mike, Thanks for this video from a fellow Coloradan. I am building a cabinet for the front garage (4 drawers...cabinet with shaker door...cabinet with shaker door..4 drawers). BEFORE watching this video I just had plain old SLAB MDF for the drawer fronts. AFTER watching...I saw how you used a traditional shaker style with the drawers ABOVE your cabinets. So...out to the workshop (undisclosed secret location in Colorado, too) and cut up the MDF slabs and re-worked them into the same as the adjacent Shaker style cabinet doors! For the STILES...used the same thickness as the adjacent cabinet doors. For the RAILS...used 1/2 of stile width...anything else...and the center portion would have been way too tiny! Yikes. Jeez...the now look so much more consistent with the center cabinet shaker style doors! WHAT THE HECK WAS I THINKING? OK...this is my FIRST big 104" wide cabinet project ever. Now it's going to turn out really GORGEOUS...with some inspiration from a fellow Coloradan! Got an email? Like to send you pics when it's done. Don't do Instagram, etc.

    God didn't give him the tools. He is running a business. When you build things for people, they give you money. You can then use that money to buy the tools (and other stuff too, like books about science!).

    Honestly I keep coming back to your older videos, they are so packed full of knowledge and tips on cabinet making. Usually you are adding solid wood edging. Here you are painting the mdf directly. How difficult is it to paint the mdf edge and why do one over the other?

  • @MikeFarrington

    @MikeFarrington

    6 ай бұрын

    Thank you. I use my sanding disc to prep the edge, I use only high quality MDF, which is denser. It's easy to paint the edges. Both ways have advantages, but what I like about this way is there will be no witness line where the solid and MDF come together.

    Just an FYI to those of you having an interest in Mike’s crazy cool, commercial/expensive, adjustable work table. I acquired a well-made hospital gurney which has a hydraulic, foot-pedal actuated, adjustable height mechanism. It also has large, lockable wheels so it rolls around my shop very easily. All four wheels lock with each wheel having a single operational locking mechanism that locks/unlocks all four wheels. Fancy engineering. One last point, make sure you get a gurney with two support pedestals rather than one. The one downside to the unit I have is that there is only one pedestal in the center so I tend to get some rocking which should be mitigated significantly with a two pedestal model. I found it was a little difficult locating my gurney but they are available If you’re diligent in your search.

    Hey Mike, When I have to make a shelf 1 1/4, I use this stuff call SLCMDF. which stands for spruce lumber core with a MDF cross band. Then I glue a piece of mdf to the front edge. Its a lost lighter that solid 1 1/4 MDF

    Thank you. This is a really good trick, but then I would need to contend with the glue joint between the panel and edging. Not a big deal, but sometimes it can show down the line.

    I am a tool lover myself. I just missed out on a 25" Northfield planer from the 70's. I couldn't get a forklift and help fast enough before it sold. I have plans in the future to restore a few old machines when I have the time and cash. Yes, the yellow head gear are noise canceling muffs. They have an AM FM radio and an input for an iPod. I listen to a mix of news, podcasts, audio books and music (classic rock mostly). Yes, more videos to come, I have 3 in the works currently. Thank you, our little kiddo is the best, we love him dearly.
